A new study has revealed that recovering reef fish stocks could significantly boost sustainable food supply by nearly 50 %. The work provides the first global quantification of how much food is currently being lost due to degraded reef fish stocks and how much can be regained if reefs are restored to sustainable levels.

A comprehensive new review suggests that bamboo shoots could offer a wide range of health benefits, from improved blood sugar control and gut health to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich have developed fast-RSOM, a non-invasive imaging technology that visualises the smallest blood vessels through the skin and can detect early signs of cardiovascular disease long before clinical symptoms appear.

A new review has suggested that one can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease by replacing animal products with plant-based foods. It also found that ultra-processed plant-based foods lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease mortality; whole grains lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes and all-cause mortality; and plant-based meat alternatives lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Men assess potential rivals that have a larger penis as more of a threat, both physically and sexually, according to a study by Upama Aich at the University of Western Australia and colleagues, publishing January 22nd in the open-access journal Plos Biology.

Researchers have found that when Asian American heart failure patients are separated by ethnicity, rather than grouped together as “Asian,” important differences in care emerge across groups including Filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, Asian Indian, Korean and Japanese patients.

Scientists have developed an injectable regenerative nanomaterial that helps protect the brain post a stroke. In a new preclinical study, they found that the nanomaterial crosses the blood-brain barrier and targets harmful inflammation.

In a new study, scientists have found that residential wood burning is a major contributor to winter air pollution across the United States. It further states that although only 2 % of U.S. homes rely on wood as their primary heating source, residential wood burning accounts for more than one-fifth of Americans’ wintertime exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

A low-cost industrial material could soon replace platinum in key chemical reactions, as researchers at the University of Rochester demonstrate how precisely engineered tungsten carbide catalysts can boost efficiency in CO₂ conversion and plastic upcycling while supporting more sustainable manufacturing.

Shimadzu has introduced Miv-X, its new ultrasonic optical flaw detector to the European market. The solution boasts of defects both on and below the surface as well as provides a clear visualization of any flaws detected.
